The International Translation Day is approaching.
Like every year, since 2017, we are celebrating on 

 the 30th of September.
The 30th of September is not just a random date. It is the feast of St. Jerome, the Bible translator who is considered the patron saint of translators. He translated from Hebrew to Latin and Greek.

The celebrations have been promoted by the International Federation of Translators (FIT) ever since it was set up in 1953.

Translation reaches to the borders made of silence and foreign languages that we cannot understand. It changes these into words that bridge gaps and connect what otherwise might remain unknown and alien. Translation makes communities grow beyond national borders. Translation is international and transnational.
